Sea Biscuit! Go on, Boy!

Oh poor dog. Patient dog. Funny dog. I wonder how long before he broke out of his shell!

So Duuude , Which way did Nemo go ???

“COCKER BARNACLES” made me LOL so hard. (Rikki was briefly alarmed.)

Sea Biscuit: “Is this a sand castle competiton?”

“‘couse if it is I deserve first place and a biscuit”

So cute! Luv him!♥♥

Aww, poor pup. Sometimes teh doggies’ submissive nature gets them into troubles…

Once hatched and out of their nest in the sand, the sea turtles instinctively crawl towards the sea..

Oh my, loved so hard ^^
What a brave puppy

Oh, spaniels. Is there anything we can do to you that doesn’t make you look even more puppish?

P.S. I love how at the moment the banner ad to my right is for “turtlesale.com!”

My first thought upon seeing this was “Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!”

My second thought was “wonder how long it’ll be before we need some pudding”.

Dear lord, people. This pup absolutely can move. Have you never had a part of your body buried in sand? It’s not cement. You can break through it simply by shifting/moving. If you look closely at the picture you can see where his little pup body is because it’s outlined by cracks in the “shell” of the turtle. He could jump out of there and destroy the illusion at any time. This pup is NOT being mistreated. He’s just being very patient.

@cheesybird – No prob.

Yum, it’s a Pecan Sandie!

Being OC and all, I’m just thinking about the possibility of sand fleas! Ewwwww!

I think it was not so nice of you, what if the dog thinks it’s really scary!?

[Then the dog gets up and runs away. Which hasn't happened. - Ed.]

Unfortunately, people who have done this to the dog breed.

[...don't finish their sentences? - Ed.]

I just re-read the comments… holy BATMAN PEOPLE! Chillllll! As one who’s lived on the beach for my entire life and been buried in the sand both of my own volition and against it, it’s pretty much impossible to get “stuck” unless you’re buried verticially with your feet straight down. I only have two legs, that little guy has four. If he wants out, he can has outs. He’s clearly just a good doggie who is willing to put up with silly humans.
People have been very sensitive lately. Everyone go watch “Finding Nemo” and give me thirty duuuuuuude’s instead of pushups.

[or else we turn loose the BATMAN PEOPLE, muahahahahahaaaaaa - Ed.]

lol ellie I guess we are JINK snicker

[ What is "JINK"? - Ed.]

I’ll bet they had a fun nice romp in the ocean or lake after. And pup is all, “you people are weird, but I lubs you anyhoo.”

Soup, soup, beautiful soup….

Help, I can’t remember the rest of the words the Mock Turtle sang!

I’m not grumpy, but can I get a mocca latte anyway?

P.S. WOAH!

…
Have you ever had a spaniel? They are the sweetest, cutest, nicest, snuggliest animals in the history of the world. Also, they aren’t very sensitive to heat. Practically the only thing spaniels need is love and affection. The lil’ guy was probably pleased out of his mind to lie there while his beloved owner made him into a turtle. Besides, he looks happy!
Sincerely,
Nikki and Nina (The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel)

My dog digs his own holes to bury himself

Oh and @Theo:
I said steamed milk, steamed milk, steamed milk, steamed milk,
And espresso shot, espresso shot, espresso shot, espresso shot,
Chocolate sauce and whip cream! Chocolate sauce and whip cream!
Double mocha latte, double mocha latte, double mocha latte with a plain croissant

And then there’s that song:
What the world needs now is no more Nuffs
That’s one thing that we’ve got too many uf!

Sing it with me now.

[Fixed the spelling. - Ed.]

ya, well, MY dog looks sad when i pet him, and i can promise you he LOVES it, because when i stop, he pats my face with his paws with “pweeeeeeees?” written all OVER his fluffy, frito-smellin’ toes. some dogs just look sad. i defy you to find a happy looking bassett, for ince.

Serafemme:

How about Droopy?

Hmm, maybe not.

what these vivisecionists get up to, is beyond me.

@ Theo.. Sigh I meant JINX
Blargh… Do not type before coffee (new rule for me!)

Wowwwww!! Is that a turtle-spaniel?? I thought they went extinct centuries ago!!! *takes out encyclopedia*

There were nuffs?
:::sighs and shakes head, goes to the store for more pudding:::

Sorry, don’t like it. He seems scared.

[You think he'd be sitting still for it if he were scared? Come on. - Ed.]

The dog doesn’t look scared. He looks wet, which happens at the beach. Sheesh, he’s under a little wet sand, not concrete. What’s with all the nuffers lately?

Looks like one unhappy dog. Really, this is cute? hmmm…

Is this the part where the little boy yells “Get out of here! I never liked you anyway!” in a tear-choked voice and eventually has to throw rocks at the turcockle to get it to stop following him back toward the ranch?

Any dog person knows and loves that pretend-sad face.

Exactly. Beagles are phenomenal at that long-suffering stare. If you didn’t know better, you’d think every last one of them had been listening to The Smiths since puppyhood.

Friends of mine have a Boston Terrier, and he often has that “I hate my life — I wish I was a bird so I could fly far, far away from here.” look around the eyes. He’s spoiled rotten and happy as a clam, but that’s just his typical facial expression.

I agree that this dog’s expression reads more like, “Sigh. You people are really weird.”

The littlest things can cause the biggest commentroversy! Get your knickers out of a wad, won’t ya folks. This pup is doing fine. He’s all, “Why hand stop petting me’s?! OoOo What’s dis?!” [owner dangles foodstuff's to get doggy's attentions]

This is to cute and jsut to wrong to do a pretty guy

I totally want to nuzzle his sweet little spaniel head. Also, whoever did the turtle body sculpture is fabulous, those fins are prosh

Oh and Theo I have your plain croissant right here. It’s an extra one from a local French bakery owned by an award winning pastry chef. I add the latter part only to emphasize that the lady knows how to make a croissant. In other words to make you jealous! Lol! I’ll trade it for that mocha latte though. Slurp!

Awww cute furry turtle… poor puppy. Just wondering what would those breeders will call him…

Ahh, I wondered why there seemed to be so few nuffer comments in the early section. They were there indeed, but deleted. Can’t say I’m surprised.

It never ceases to amaze me how people can project doom and gloom onto pictures of animals whose body language, insofar as we can read it from a limited, static shot, seems to be perfectly relaxed and happy. Where do you see signs of stress? Fear? Misery? Is your world really so free of unhappiness that you feel the need to imagine it in every corner and every photo?

Is it the economy? The Swine Flu? Do people think that nuffing will burn calories? Geez, anyone who has ever met a dog of any kind knows he won’t let you do anything to him that he finds scary or uncomfortable. I have personally been buried in a lot more sand than that, even as a skinny small child, and it feels GOOD! Besides, I’m sure all that patting was nice. I had a dog who buried himself like this, although less artistically, in a muddy dinosaur footprint. The only problem he had was his muddy, formerly white, Lhasa fur afterwards.

Hello ! Eu sou brasileira e i love turtle! Está muito engraçado esse cachorro com corpo de tartaruga ! kiss ! lilia

LOL. Dog does not fool me.
NUFF-AHS BEGAWN.
